Mind Reality of Eclipse

Anger and Misjudgment ~ Chapter 67

Byleth watched the sun set slowly as he awaited for Rafal's return. He looked at the villains who were laughing with one another, at the same time they were getting more and more pissed with each other. Byleth was just grateful they were busy with something. Suddenly he saw someone walk up the hill, it was Rafal.

"Took you long enough! How did it go?" Byleth asked. Rafal crossed his arms and took a deep breath.

Rafal explained, "The heroes came and attacked Firene. Luckily we scared them off, but the thing was we were only able to induce one of the heroes. Kaedehara Kazuha is his name." Byleth stood there in place and took a deep breath.

"Just... ONE!?" He grabbed Rafal as swirls filled his eyes again. "ONLY ONE FUCKING HERO!? WHAT TYPE OF BULLSHIT IS THIS?!" Byleth asked.

Rafal yelled, "I told them that they were going to induce them as SOON AS THEY LAID EYES ON THE HEROES! I KNOW WE DIDN'T INDUCE THEM BUT WE LEARNED FROM OUR MISTAKES!" Byleth shoved him onto the ground and turned away from them.

"Fine, I'll let this slide since you're my best friend Rafal. Don't disappoint me AGAIN," Byleth replied. Rafal nodded as Byleth sat down on the ground. Rafal slowly sat down next to him. "Now that I'm done being pissed off I heard news from Robin."

Rafal questioned, "Did he fail?"

"Pretty. Much..." Byleth looked down at himself and then screamed into his palms. "DO YOU ALL REQUIRE ME AT YOUR SIDE BABYSITTING YOU JUST SO YOU CAN INDUCE MORE PEOPLE!?"

Rafal shouted, "DO YOU NOT FUCKING REMEMBER THE EVENTS IN YLISSE?! WE WERE FINE WITHOUT YOUR ASSISTANCE!!" Byleth stared at him and fell onto the ground.

"You make a fair point... ugh," Byleth groaned. He looked down at himself and then looked back. "I just want to get that crown... I need it..."

Rafal sighed, "How about this, while you go get the crown, we can get the scrolls." Byleth laid there and then his eyes widened in shock. He thought the idea was absolutely genius!

"Rafal! You came up with an amazing idea! Why didn't I think of that?!" Byleth got up and smiled down at himself. "That crown will be mine as you guys get the scrolls! It's perfect!"

Rafal laughed, "Hah! I knew I had some great ideas!" Byleth smiled at him and then clapped his hands together. The villains looked over as Byleth looked down at them as he stood up.

Byleth announced, "As your boss I think my co-worker Rafal has come up with an incredible idea! This idea revolves around you guys going after the scrolls while I go and get that crown..."

"You want to get the crown now?! Are you sure you're capable of getting that?!" Marth asked. Byleth walked over to him and grabbed him by the collar. "GAH!!"

Byleth asked, "Do you want to repeat that you little piece of shit? You want to repeat that AGAIN!?" Marth shook there in fear as Byleth slammed him onto the ground. "That's what I thought. You don't mess around with me..." Marth looked up at him in disbelief and cleaned himself down.

Rafal sighed, "He's more than prepared to get the crown, are you just afraid that getting the crown is going to be too much power?" Marth stood there in silence as he took a deep breath.

"No..."

"AHAHAH! THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT MARTH! YOU ARE A PATHETIC LOSER WHO DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO RULE THE WORLD!!" Byleth laughed as he shoved Marth onto the ground once more. Marth stayed down on the ground and didn't bother to get up. "First, before we do that, I think we need to review the scrolls we have."

Rafal said, "Very well, Marth go get the scrolls!" Marth nodded as he walked over and grabbed the scrolls they grabbed. However, he saw Robin appear in front of him.

"Robin!?"

"I need to talk to Byleth," Robin grumbled. He shoved Marth out of the way. Marth was getting more and more pissed off with those around him.

Marth muttered, "If I could... I WOULD- No. Restrain yourself Marth, they will kill you if you even attempt." Soon the despair aura left him, he was broken free from the substance. "AGH!"

"MARTH!!!" Marth looked around and saw the scrolls in his hands. He knew what he had to do, he had to run away with them even if it cost his life. The heroes needed to get them.

Marth yelled, "I'M COMING!!" Marth took a deep breath and started running away as fast as possible. All the scrolls were in a bag, he could take them to the heroes and they could store them away. "Come on Marth! You can take these to the heroes!"

Byleth asked, "What the hell is taking him so long..." He went over to check but Marth was gone. Alongside the scrolls, Byleth stood there staring at the spot where the scrolls should've been. "That... TRAITOR!!!"

Rafal asked, "What the hell is going on?!"

"THAT BACKSTABBING BASTARD!! ARAGHH!!" Byleth screamed. He looked down at him and then he started filling himself with negative energy.

Robin muttered, "Something about him was off when I walked past him."

"I'M GOING TO KILL HIM EVEN IF I CAN MAKE HIM JOIN BACK ONTO MY FORCES!!! ARAGHH!!" Byleth then shot the magic into the air. Storm clouds were coming through. "AHAHAHAH!! AHAHAH! AHAH!!"

Rafal muttered, "Let's focus on getting him, killing him and getting the scrolls back. The crown can wait."

"Good point... I need to be careful... and MAKE SURE HE DIES!!!" Byleth laughed. The purple aura continued surrounding him, he was getting worse and worse. Losing who he was, he was done wearing a face of lies. He wanted power, that's all he wanted. POWER!!

Rafal asked, "Byleth?"

"Ahaha... you know damn well I'm done... Marth will die, I will cut the heroes' throats down. I will, I WILL BE THE ONLY HERO STANDING!!! AHHHHH-HAHAHAHA!!!" Byleth laughed. He looked down at himself, smiling down. "Unstoppable even..."

Rafal muttered, "Very well... you do you I suppose."

"I will always do what I believe is best, Rafal, and that means killing Marth for the scrolls, KILLING THE HEROES FOR THAT BOOK ON DESPAIR!! AHAHAH!"
